Floral Sachet or Gift Bags

 I found a few more patterns!  Some of them are really blurry or very pale, because the magazine paper they were printed on was poor quality.  And even the photography was poor quality.  So I'll post those at the very very very end when I have nothing left at all!

Meanwhile, these are some nice floral sachet or gift bags.  Or decorations any way you want to use them!

Floral Design for a Blanket

 This is probably going to be the next to last post for at least a few months.  I've just about come to the end of all the patterns in my collection that I had scanned before I put them away safe into storage.  As the paper these are printed on was most often newspaper grade or just a bit better than that and it becomes so brittle that it falls apart just trying to turn pages.

  My computer crashes early this year and although I thought I had backed up all of my files, the means by which I backed up created multiple copies of almost everything.  I take a lot of photos!  And I scan a lot.  Which meant I had to sort through over 40,000 files to find and delete duplicates after the crash.

  And in that process I appear to have accidently deleted some of the scans of the patterns.  For example, some of those really cool detailed Christmas Stockings!  So although I'd love to go through the originals and search for the missing ones, there just isn't going to be much time to do that this coming year.  

  This is a beautiful floral pattern could be used for so many things!

Peace, Love, and Rock n' Roll, right?

In honor of upcoming Mothers Day and my dear departed hippie mother who actually lived in San Francisco on Haight Ashbury in the late 1960's before they all migrated down to the coast and mountains of Santa Cruz, here is a lovely LOVE pattern.  For everyone to young to remember, 1969 was the "Summer Of Love" in San Francisco.  And yes, they really did wear flowers in their hair.

Here is another one of those wonderful patterns that I would love to have the time to stitch.  Isn't this beautiful!?  The original worked special threads in, including the use of silk, but I am sure you could customize it with your favorite highlights and use your own collection of threads.

Easter Floral Basket and Country Cottage

Okay, it is far too late to make these in time for Easter or even spring this year, but you can make them for next year!  And of course the cute little cottage would be delightful anytime of year.
